Bečić: The most profound reforms in recent history are taking place in the security sector

The most profound reforms in recent history are taking place in the security sector, said Aleksa Bečić, leader of the Democrats and Deputy Prime Minister of Montenegro for Security, Defense, Fight against Crime and Internal Policy.

"We are making the system healthier. We are purchasing the most modern equipment, drones, video surveillance systems for public areas, radar systems, stationary radars, mobile readers, biometric systems. Next year, we will have the largest budget for the Ministry of the Interior. At the same time, we are opening up space for new energy and educated young people. Around 500 young people will start working at the Police Directorate in the coming days and weeks, and the process of hiring young people will continue even more intensively in the coming year. We are building a professional, clean and modern service because it is the backbone of a resilient and strong system," said Bečić in Danilovgrad, where he and his party officials were in Danilovgrad as part of a large-scale field activity and a comprehensive re-registration of membership on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the founding of the Democrats.

Bečić pointed out that those who for years managed the state as a private property are now sitting in the dock.

"Now we see that the one who marched in January demanding my dismissal, the dismissal of the Minister of Internal Affairs and the Director of the Police Administration, is today, according to the acts and indictments of the competent institutions, the head and member of three criminal organizations: one that smuggled cigarettes, another that smuggled narcotics, and a third that committed numerous criminal offenses against the constitutional order, the security of Montenegro, public order, peace, and much more. It is clear why we bother such and similar ones, as well as their contractors in various fields, why they bother a strong and professional security sector, and why they tried to stop historic reforms with continuous attacks, abuses of events that are happening in all countries, and various forms of hybrid action. However, every reform, every blow from the rule of law and professional institutions was stronger and stronger. So that transparent attempts to destabilize and undermine various criminal groups and frightened perpetrators of serious crimes only further homogenize leaders, honorable professionals in the system and the vast majority of citizens, that is, the state and the system to continue on the path of healing society and cleaning up crime from all parts of the system and society," he concluded.
